“ We are invited to see ourselves and our lives as part of God’s story. That produces people with a cause. We really are…examples of God’s determination to bring the world back into a right relation to its Creator—which finally is what peace is about. Under such a story, life ceases to be the grim, just-one-damn-thing-after-another, sort of existence we have known before. The little things of life—marriage, children, visiting an eighty-year-old nursing home resident, listening to a sermon—are redeemed and given eschatological significance. Our fate is transformed into our destiny.”
